Ashford, Kent – 19th September 2008
As a leading provider of digital publications to publishers across the globe, it is crucial for PageSuite to have a strong network infrastructure. Akamai Technologies Inc, who specialise in powering rich media and online applications and have 34,000 servers across 70 countries, were chosen as the preferred partner following extensive testing of six providers.
When a user views a PageSuite digital edition, the request is routed using Akamai’s technology, through the server nearest to that end user, guaranteeing the fastest possible upload speed of the publication. This gives PageSuite’s clients the assurance that wherever in the World their reader is based the download speed of the digital publication will not be compromised.
Nathan Parrett, Managing Director commented ‘we needed a trusted partner to deliver our clients’ digital publications, and with a consistent track record for reliability and performance, Akamai proved to offer the ideal solution. We are confident that Akamai will be able to keep pace as our business needs increase, and are secure in the knowledge that our clients’ publications will be delivered over a quality distribution platform that helps them to reach an extensive global audience.’
